PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JUNE 10, 1986
answers the question, Why sex? In the "From the Telecast" column, we will
introduce the third speaker on the telecast, Richard Ames.
•Youth 86• Update
On the August cover of "Youth 86" a family saying good
bye to an older teenager leaving home is featured, with the thought
provoking cover line, "Are You Really Ready to Be on Your Own?" We hope
to make parents and teens both consider all the preparation needed before
young people are ready to leave the nest.
Plans for the September issue include articles on stopping worry, group
dating, improving your memory, folk dancing and the outlandish opossum.
We plan to run the first in a series of career articles, beginning with an
interview with a computer programmer. A new column, "I Didn't Know That
Was in the Bible! " written by Ronald Kelly wil1 also be intraduced in
September.
"Worldwide News• Update
In June we plan to publish in "Iron Sharpens
Iron" articles about family relations.
Titles are "Living With
Unconverted Mates" by K. Neil Earle, "The Passive Husband: Hallmark of Our
Time" by Paul Linehan, "The Mission of Motherhood" by Ricky Sherrod and
"The Greatest Gift You Can Give Your Child" by Richard Rice.
We are also introducing a new feature titled "On Stage at the Auditorium."
We plan to run occasional reports from staff members on concerts performed
in Ambassador Auditorium. The series will begin with an article by Sheila
Graham on the premiere performance of the Kirov Ballet. (Even though this
performance was in the Shrine Auditorium, it was sponsored by Ambassador
Foundation. )
This special feature will introduce readers to the most uplifting music
and some of the finest artists performing today. We are bombarded today
by the substandard, the mediocre, even the obscene in musical expression.
Mr. Tkach feels, as did Mr. Armstrong, that we should learn to appreciate
those performers who dedicate their lives to excellence.
Unusual Letter
Support comes from the strangest corners sometimes. We
were surprised to receive a letter from the president of "The
International Flat Earth Research Society of America
II
noting that we did
not include one mention or photograph of a globe in the June-July "Good
News." He was hoping that we had finally accepted the "proved demonstrated
fact" that the earth is flat.

FROM FACILITIES ADMINISTRATION
During the month of May, Ambassador Foundation was given the prestigious
opportunity of participating in the first cultural exchange between the
United States and the Soviet Union.
During the Geneva Summit meeting
between President Reagan and Soviet leader Gorbachev, an agreement was
signed to initiate cultural exchanges between the two countries.
The first such exchange from the Soviet Union was the Kirov Ballet, which
had not appeared in the United States since 1964, a 22-year absence. The
Kirov is scheduled for a three-city tour, which began in Los Angeles on
May 21 at the Shrine Auditorium under the auspices of Ambassador
